The Fabrizio Tuscan Estate™

One Day Cooking Classes Tuscany

Join Fabrizio at the family estate, a beautiful farmhouse villa located in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The Tuscan cooking classes feature typical recipes from the Florence area under the direction of Chef Melina. She will lead you through making Tuscan antipasto, pasta, main course and dessert. Melina’s energetic personality, along with her talented cooking skills make this class our best-seller for Tuscany. The entire staff, along with Fabrizio and his family, welcome you for a fun-filled cooking experience in the heart of Chianti!

The private villa has recently been restored, respecting its old-world charm, while adding modern comforts. Set on a working vineyard, the property is surrounded by rolling green Tuscan hills in the heart of Montespertoli. The estate has a vast olive grove and organic vegetable garden, which produces beautiful olives, tomatoes, eggplant, squash flowers and a bounty of seasonal produce. Guests are invited to pick the fruits and vegetables, which are used in the cooking classes.

The villa is surrounded by a garden with a café-style terrace for eating, reading or painting. There is an out door wood-burning brick pizza oven for pizza parties, an over-sized swimming pool and terrace on the property grounds. Majestic Murgesi horses are bred on the premise. If you like to ride, tell Fabrizio and he can arrange for Tuscan horseback riding.
